Hi :)
Just wondered if anyone has recently claimed maternity allowance and how long did it take to hear back from them ?
Thanks in advance :)

    Mine came through very quickly. Think it took about two weeks for the whole process from filling in the forms to receiving the yes your entitled to it letter and then payments letters. So roughly 10 working days. I sent all my letters next day delivery though just to be on the safe side x

    Hiya, I sent mine off 2 weeks ago and am due to give birth on Friday so a little panicked that I haven't heard back. Does anyone know who you contact to chase it? x
